The robot wars are gaining pace. I shared elsewhere about a Luddite event in London on Saturday (Breaking the (G)loom), and here's another in New York (S.H.I.T.P.H.O.N.E). The more gen ai music & video content, autoplay video apps, 5 second attn span novelty, pervasive data and human surveillance (Waymo cams etc), the more this will increase.
Universities take note.

Years ago I compared social media to smoking (nicotine) and the more time goes on the more parallels are drawn. My generation was there first to have social media and be told about it's benefits which hardened us against hearing how negative it actually is.... Younger generations are, thankfully, starting to take those negatives to heart. I mean, they are even essentially creating non-smoking areas by designating areas and events phone-free.

#Appstinence is the latest millennial / gen-z trend. I like it. #enshittification #simplicity #addiction #doomscrolling
